◇ Could this help me?
Yes. The explanation is accurate: the shift from single monolithic model calls to compound AI systems of specialized components is a real industry trend, and the coordination-cost lens (monoliths win when coordination is expensive, specialization wins when it is cheap) is a sound way to reason about it. General practice: a useful mental model for anyone designing AI features or evaluating how an AI product is architected.
Review how this project uses AI model calls. Identify any place where one large general-purpose call is doing work that could be split across smaller specialized steps (or where a split would add more coordination overhead than it saves), and recommend whether to restructure, with the tradeoffs spelled out.
